Died, of paralysis, on Tuesday afternoon April 18th, after an illness of five weeks, Mr. J. H. Wood, in the 44th year of his age. Deceased was the son of Russell and Ann G. Wood, and was born in Marion, Grant County, Indiana. January 14, 1855. At the age of 4 years he moved with his parents to the old home on South Prairie, where he grew to manhood. "Hillie," as he was familiarly known, was one of our most esteemable and upright characters, loved and respected by all who knew him. After completing a course at the Iowa City Academy, he spent his early manhood teaching school. At the age of 23 years he was united in marriage of Ida A. Norris, of Conesville, Iowa, and from this union there were six children, five are left with the bereaved wife to mourn their loss, one, "little Glennie," having gone before [1884 York, NE]. The first few years of his married life were spent in farming on the Prairie, then he and his family moved to York, Nebraska, where they spent thirteen very happy years, during which time he united with the First Presbyterian church there. At the end of this time they returned to Iowa and took up their residence among us. A few weeks ago he moved his family to Nichols, with the intention of soon returning to their little home at York, but such was not the will of him who doeth all things well. He leaves an aged father [Russell Wood] and one sister, Mrs. Chas. [Lucinda Wood] Heath, his mother [Hannah Ann Grandy Wood], brother [William Grandy Wood] and one sister [Alice Estelle Wood Metcalf] having gone before. The funeral at the south Prairie church was largely attended, and the flower strewn casket that contained all that was mortal of one we loved so well, was borne by Brother Woodmen, (who conducted the funeral) to the grave, which loving hands had covered with evergreens. His wife [Ida Norris Wood] and family [sons: James "Ray" Wood, Benjamin Brockway Wood, Edith Wood Boster, Ethel Wood, Bertha Wood Pennio, Ivy "Myrtle" Wood] certainly have the most heart-felt sympathy sympathy of the entire community.------- * Please note: The additions to this obit that were not part of the original text are in bold and in brackets, entered by Jean O’Brien Harris - great grand niece of the deceased. - Gary James
